Safari 5.1 extension intro

We designed an all-new Safari extension to comply with the new technologies and rules that Apple introduced in Lion and Safari 5.1 for Snow Leopard users. As a result, you’ll need to perform a one-time install of our new extension to continue using 1Password with Safari. After that, Safari will update our extension automatically!

Below are a few how-tos for updating 1Password and getting our new extension installed.

How to update the new Safari 5.1 extension

Safari should update our new extension automatically (see steps 4 and 5 above), but performing a manual update is simple:

Go to Safari > Preferences > Extensions and click Updates

If automatic updates are enabled (which we recommend) but you know a newer version is available, disable the automatic option which should display an update waiting, like in the image above

Click the Install button, then reenable automatic updates to let Safari continue to update you automatically

Restart Safari: To start Safari with a clean slate, press Command-Option-Q to restart Safari. You will lose all your open windows and tabs so bookmark any as necessary

How to opt into 1Password betas

We often issue new features and fixes in “beta” releases, which are optional downloads for customers who want to help us test new features and fixes. Here is how to opt into our 1Password beta process:

In 1Password go to 1Password > Preferences > Updates, enable Betas, and then press Check Now. After upgrading, it wouldn’t hurt to check for an update to the Safari section, which is described in a process earlier in this document
